Anti Up

Introducing Your Anti-Resolutions

There are just a few days left to undo every single one of your resolutions from last year. Before
pretending to start the new ones for 2012. Behold: a few ways to send 2011 out with a bang.

MERL-OH

Going Anti-Sideways at Prezza

If your idea of relaxation is a bottle of red and a good meal, here’s the next step: the incredibly rare
1982 Château Pétrus, aka “the greatest example of merlot in the world,” available by the bottle at
Prezza. Go ahead, drink it out of a Styrofoam cup. It’s yours.

Staying in the Ultimate Red Sox Room

The Sox in 2011: painful. The remedy: a luxe baseball suite at Hotel Commonwealth, complete with Sox decor,
a 50-inch plasma and actual ballpark seats. Plus: a personalized brick laid in Fenway, a private tour of the
stadium and Green Monster tickets to a game. No fried chicken, though.

Celebrating Flapjacks. And John Candy.

You’ll go low-carb in 2012. But while it’s still 2011, hit the
Uncle Buck Pancake Challenge at Mass Ave Tavern. It involves you, a six-pound platter of pancakes and
your picture on the wall if you finish. Bonus: it’s free if you do it in an hour. Which you won’t.

Renting Your Own Private Ski Mountain

If your Q4 2011 personal fun money still needs spending, here’s how to blow it creatively: rent a ski
mountain. Like, say, the Camden Snow Bowl in Maine, where you and 250 friends will get lift tickets and
private access all day. Three words: naked snow angels.

Fried Animal Skins. Prosciutto. Fondue.

There’ll be time for dieting in 2012. Until then, go full glutton with this new late-night offering at the
Rattlesnake. Which is: a platter of fried prosciutto, chicken skins, turkey skins and candied pork belly
with fried potato chips. Served with cheese fondue dipping sauce. And a pair of defibrillators.
